Vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectra have been computed with qualitatively correct sign patterns for α-helical peptides using various methods, ranging from empirical models to ab initio quantum mechanical computations. However, some details, such as deuteration effects and isotope substitution shifts and sign patterns for the resultant amide I' band shape, have remained a predictive challenge. Fully optimized computations for a 25-residue Ala-rich peptide, including implicit solvent corrections and explicit side chains that experimentally stabilize these model helical peptides in water, have been carried out using density functional theory (DFT).

The application of the exciton chirality method (ECM) to interpret electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra is a well-established and still popular approach to assign the absolute configuration (AC) of natural products, chiral organic compounds, and organometallic species. The method applies to compounds containing at least two chromophores with electric dipole allowed transitions (e.g.
